San Diego, CA Automobile Body Repairing Painting

First off, the owner Mike seemed legit.  I took my car there to get the rear bumper painted.  He charged me $250.  The other guy that works there is a complete crook that gouges prices.  He should be fired!My other car was hit at the gym, so I took it there to get an estimate.  The con man gave me an estimate of $1,200.  I ended up getting the work done for $320 at another shop.Before that incident, I took my car there to get a spoiler installed.  I didn't want it painted by them, just installed.  When I got the estimate, they were trying to charge several hours of install time (which  would actually only take about 30 minutes) and the con man was trying to charge paint, primer, and work time.  I specifically told him that it was already painted, so I didn't need them to paint it.  When I asked him about the price, he got an attitude and just said "Well, that's the price!"  Why would I pay more for it to be painted when I didn't want them to paint it?!  I didn't even get into with him about how they were charging like 5x the install time.  I believe that estimate was about $500 and I ended up getting the spoiler installed for $50 at another shop.Today my wife took her car there to get her rear bumper painted and to fix a scratch on the front bumper.  Keep in mind that Mike charged me $250 last time for my rear bumper.  The con man gave my wife an estimate of $1,300!!  Absolutely ridiculous, especially since my car and my wife's car are the exact same color, so they can't try and act like the paint is more expensive.  My wife just dropped her car off at another shop and they are charging $325 to completely paint the front AND rear bumpers.It's a shame because I was pleased how my rear bumper turned out and I had sent a lot of business (at least a dozen people) to them in the past via personnel recommendation, law enforcement buddies, military buddies, Facebook, and the Nextdoor community website.  I will NEVER recommend them again!

Amazing service and super friendly staff. The waiting room is very comfortable and the new owners are incredible. Eddie and the rest of the crew make sure your car comes back looking like new. Definitely a lifetime customer

Awesome body shop!!! Efficient, great customer service work was done in adequate time. I highly recommend this shop to everyone.

I went in to get an estimate for damages I was going to take care of myself. John, the owner immediately greeted me. I showed him my car. He took it to the back and told me he'd be right back. When he brought my car back he'd taken all of the paint transfer off and there was just a minor scratch on it. I offered to pay him and he refused with open arms. He assured me that this was the place to take your car if you wanted the work to be done right. I was so impressed and grateful for his help and willingness to take care of me at no cost even after I insisted. Thank you, John, you were warm, friendly, and professional! P Glenn

Sam took care of my car fore decades. He knew my car better than I did. He was honest and his prices were the best I could find.When he began doing auto body work. He took care of my car and a friend's car at a very reasonable rate. We were all very pleased with the repairs. I would not take my car to anyone else as long as he is around (which I hope will be for a very, very long time).

Do not take your car to this shop! They will completely destroy your car! They will rip you off and lie like you wouldnt believe!

if i could rate this place a -0 i would. the owner does not know how to speak to the customer and they take no responsibility for the poor work they do. very disappointing.

I brought my son's Audi A4 in to have a side panel and door fixed. Dropped it off Monday afternoon and picked it up Thursday morning. On time, under budget!!!

this is the worst bumper repair faciity anywhere I am having my bumber redone somewhere else, I guess I should go there and take some pictures really quick so you can see how bad his work is, horrible painter his address isnt the one listed he is really in an ally in the hood and all I could hear them talking about was crystal meth which would really expalin why the work was so bad but he never even installed my bumper warning warning this guy is a scamDo not be fooled by these fake reviews I will add the pictures and I have several witnesses I am expecting him to lose his iicense but we will see after the state does its investigation. What a horrific nightgmare!I had called in advance and spoke to John who quoted me $200 to paint and install the new bumper that I had. That price became $275 When I arrived there but I relally needed it at this point so I agreed. he mentioned the wires that are installed into the bumper, I told him I had a Saab specialist doing that. He insisted that he was more than capable of doing the wiring and that he had done many of this type of cars, he said it would be $100 more for the wiring. He noticed the brake pads in my trunk and insisted he could install those as well for another $100. He charged me a total of $555 total. All had to be cashTo make a long story short, after two months he still had not completed the work, but he did cost me about $1000 more in damages to my car. Here is a list of what he did;1.He forgot to put the lug nut stems back on to the wheel risking the life of my wife and 5 year old son. He damanged the wheel and cost me money for new lug stems2. He stole the front license plate for my carThis ordeal went on from October 2014 to January 20153 He damaged the hoses that go to the Bumper replacement4. He damaged the wiring, fuse box and several controls due to setting it on fire5. He damaged the head light which no longer works6. I had to have it towed twiice due to his falthy repairs7. He painted the bumper the wrong color, after complaining he repainted it with bubbles and marks all over it 8. He kept many of the original parts to the car as the bumper is missing many parts9. He threatened to have me killed with his ak-47 10. He broke the gear shifter

Just got my 99 Tacoma painted here last week. WOW! looks like a brand new truck! Ray was meticulous about the details. The paint looks perfect. But beyond that, the entire exterior of the truck was detailed: Chrome polished, all black surfaces Armor all'd, etc. I do my homework. Ray beat the best quote I had gotten elsewhere by hundreds of dollars. If you want a great paint job at an excellent price, this is the place to go. I have two buddies that are going to go there since they've seen my truck!
